Mini Manga Classes Exhibition on 9th Dec

Students’ Mini Exhibition in the Christmas Craft Fair at Hornsey Vale Community Centre on 9th Dec

This Sunday, we will hold a mini exhibition of students’ art at the Hornsey Vale Community Centre. The event aims to raise funds for the Centre and showcase local crafts, so we thought it was a good idea to get involved this year.

We will have a stall (Table #10) with some wall space. About 20 of our learners have been working for the last few weeks to prepare the art that will be on display. The exhibition will run from 2-5pm on the Sunday, and is a great chance for students to show their art to the community and put their skills into practise. Come and have a look if you have free time!

*Keroko is available at the table between 2-3pm if you would like to consult about a class or get some art advice. She will be at a class in Tottenham after those hours.
